About

If there’s another meal out there that I would rather have on a cold night, it doesn’t come to mind. This stew is thick and wholesome and will leave you feeling warmed and cozy. It’s peasant food at its base with potatoes, turnips, and carrots, but I would happily serve this to the POTUS if he happened to be at my table in January.

When serving, Don’t skimp on the Greek yogurt and parsley. They make the flavors really come alive.
